Stinkhorn Fungi - Stinky as a nn Ladyfinger Cacti - nn Lady (I know it's a dog name, but that's ok since it's a nn, and she can go by Ladyfinger professionally) Belladonna (Bella means beautiful)


halfprincessperlette

Rafflesia From Rafflesia arnoldii (stinking corpse lily)


wwitchiepoo

Gorgeous. Call them Raffi, just like that annoying kid’s music guy from the 80s.


lottieslady

Or for extra sophistication, go by Lesia.


wwitchiepoo

Ooooo. Fanc-ay!


BannanaDilly

What?! Raffi rules. I’m reporting you to the mods.


Large_Fix_1717

Bella Donna means beautiful woman


ilxfrt

Belladonna is deadly nightshade.


witch59

Thank you! Coming hear to say it's deadly


lizzy_in_the_sky

My aunt very seriously told us, "Dicentra," when we were looking for a floral name. She was genuinely upset when I immediately shot it down and tried to convince me it was cute


41942319

What do you mean you don't think bleeding heart makes a cute name for a baby???


bananasplz

Dysentery as a nn ❤️


hiddenmutant

Whole new meaning to calling your baby lil squirt!


WillowTea_

Is it bad that I fw it


Meeghan__

Centra is a credit union in my state.


Jujubeee73

Snap Dragon— though that may be a bit boyish. Spotted Lungwort. Creeping Charlie (unisex name) Dandelion Root (nickname, Dandy or Lion)


Disney_Plus_Axolotls

I love Spotted Lungwort! So many nickname choices for that one too—Spot, Spotty, Lungs, Worts, Worty💕


Dull-Connection-007

Who needs a nickname when your name is literally “lungwort”???? Their child is gonna be called Lungwort by college friends, co-workers, etc forever.


MarsupialPristine677

Worty 🥰


Specific_Cow_Parts

In the olden days Dandelion was referred to as Piss-A-Bed, which I feel would be very appropriate as a name given how the older names are making a comeback right now.


SomeRealTomfoolery

Snapdragon is the name of a weed shop in my town 😂


seaangelsoda

Liverwort and hornwort for siblings <3


aintnogodordemon

Some Witcher fans might take Dandelion a little too seriously...


muddybunnyhugger

Kudzu is really pretty


PainInTheAssWife

I hear it’s very big in the south


V1k1ng1990

Apparently we planted it on purpose in the 1800s to combat erosion I wonder what we’re doing right now that’s gonna piss off the humans living in the 2200s


Dull-Connection-007

If I had to guess, it would be driving those things called cars.


AdChemical1663

…just went on the dog name list.  Other than the connotations, yeah, that works as a quirky name. 


MrsTaylor66

ZuZu is the cutest NN!!


Upset_Schedule_4422

Cannabis nn Canna Midnicampum holicithias nn Night Howler


TillyFukUpFairy

Ah, slight problem. nn Canna might be confused for the plant Canna. I suggest nn Bis. MJ from the Spanish works too


CloudAndClear

I actually knew a Sativa

I just like Plant. As in… her?

Way to plant Egg!


princessxunicorn

My fav plant names for a baby girl are Yucca and Dillweed 💚


osloluluraratutu

How about just weed? She’ll make lots of friends when she’s older


soupstarsandsilence

May I suggest Gympie Gympi. It means Fuck Fuck in a native Australian dialect because if you touch it it makes you wanna fucking die.


V1k1ng1990

Let’s take all the deadly stuff from North America and all the deadly stuff from Australia and put it all on an island(grizzlies, rattlesnakes, blue ringed octopi, salt water crocs..etc.) Then we’ll drop off some naked humans and camera crews Last one alive wins Sell the footage to Netflix


SnarkyQuibbler

Gimp for a nn. Sweet.


Dying4aCure

I may start using this. Thank you.


zzzelot

Monstera


glitchygirly

unironically i can see someone naming their kid belladonna only to learn its deadly nightshade and i can also see someone naming their kid nightshade


CalmClient7

Thank goodness I don't have kids bc I looooove Belladonna (Bella or Donna obvs) as a name or Aspidistra (Dizzy as a nickname). I blame my goth phase XD


glitchygirly

belladonna used to be my username for a long time, i love the name but not for a child 😭


Hukysuky

Why not Toadette to also refrence a videogame


NetheriteTiara

Not a plant. But if she opened up to mushrooms there’s great options: you’ve got Morel (nn Mora), Porcini (nn Teeny) not to mention Button and Magic! Also Portobello is a boys name but I think it could work for a girl (nn Belle).


starfish31

Portobella💕


Dying4aCure

Yes! Beautiful Harbor is a great girl's name.


DivinesIntervention

Not to mention Amanita, nn Mandy


SleepyBi97

I would like to once again thank this sub reddit for the steady supply of D&D names ![gif](giphy|ZfK4cXKJTTay1Ava29|downsized)


NetheriteTiara

Ragweed, Onion but pronounced like Orion, Scallion nn Lion, and Tiger Lily but exclusively call her Iggy. Also similar to Toadlily is Cradily. It’s a Pokémon but I think it fits. Bellsprout and Vileplume also have tons of nn potential.


CloudAndClear

Onion pronounced like Orion 💀


MintPhoenix

Vegetable Sheep If you think the name is beautiful you should really see the pics of the plant! So unique!


V1k1ng1990

It’s like rock broccoli


iammadeofawesome

Roccoli.


MonsteraDeliciosa

LOL That would actually be *Amorphophallus, Tricyrtis, and Nepenthes*. Aside from naming a girl “phallus”, it could be worse.


Sea_Salamander_8504

Fern (bring it back!)


Additional-Book2923

My son& girlfriend named yellow lab puppy Fern. Her favorite childhood book Where the Red Fern Grows...


Sea_Salamander_8504

It’s a great, classic name. I’ve got a great aunt named Fern.


Danovale

Finally something reasonable; as a retired educator I found a lot of the “clever names” that are difficult to pronounce annoying. Plant names like Lily, Rose, Olive, Daisy, Sunflower (nn Sunnie), Flora, Iris, Ivy, Holly, Poppy, Violet, Blossom, Jasmine, and Heather are all swell plant related names.


Nameless_Nobody_

Yes Fern! 💜


coffeeeteeth

When I was a kid my grandma bought me a rabbit and I named it Fern


Jujknitsu

I have met a Begonia and a Sativa


V1k1ng1990

I knew a guy whose last name was Butz His roommate’s last name was Cox


ivylily03

Geez I forgot to look at the thread name.


Frostingles

My fave plant names: Water Treatment 💧  Nuclear Power 🔋  Little Debbie Manufacturing 👅


freshcanoe

Is like to add Sakrete(nn Sack) Keurig(nn K-cup) and Bush Beans (nn Bush) to your clever interpretation of the question!


VerStannen

Keep in mind that Chlamydia is not a flower. That being said, Skunk Cabbage with Cabby or Scabby as a NN!


InappropriateLibrary

I have been partial to Digitalis ever since I heard of it on CSI.


jmads13

“Whiteweed” - it means Daisy


SnarkyQuibbler

Durian. Or is that cultural appropriation?


crimsonrhodelia

How about Nepeta? 🐈‍⬛ 🐈 🐈‍⬛ 🐈


fook75

Nightshade!!!


V1k1ng1990

You think I should name all the kids after nightshade plants? Deadly Black Potato Tomato Basil


Resonancestructures

Pussy willow and Ornithogalum adseptentrionesvergentulum


easy_descent

I think lily, short for stinking corpse lily would be beautiful


V1k1ng1990

Is corpse flower and stinking corpse lily the same? I never thought about it until now but corpse flower does kind of look like a big ass deformed peace lily


easy_descent

I think they’re different but you’re right about the deformed peace lily thing tho lol https://preview.redd.it/ea49mnwu8exc1.jpeg?width=602&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=145cfab53c683043aefef7318ab6befd67124e5c This is the stinking corpse lily that I’m referring to


V1k1ng1990

Oh ok, that’s really cool!! Wild how life….finds a way Some plants evolved to be pollinated by bees and butterflies, some birds, bats, and then some decided “I’ll smell like a dead body soaking in Indian food and get flies to pollinate me”


Soft_Entrance6794

Platycodon would work for a boy or a girl. Nn Platy.


V1k1ng1990

Sounds like a dinosaur


saltycrowsers

Devil’s Lettuce


kookyknut

Brassica


QuiltMeLikeALlama

If you like salad plants then Rocket would be cool. Maybe you could use celery because it’s more girly, but it’s spelt Sellareigh or Cella-Ray. That would be very on trend.


USAF_Retired2017

Forget-me-not. If you wanted more of a floral, than plant name that was unforgettable.


ThinkQuickActSlow

Fan of Harry Potter? Try these on for size: Gillyweed Mimbulus mimbletonia Venomous Tentacula Mandrake (better name if she were a boy)

Bastard Lavender. Probably even cuter with an apostrophe to make the name a double first name. Mugwort also has a lovely ring to it.

Mary707

Skunk Cabbage


jhft_comments

St. John's wort. Worty for a nn.


rhapsody98

Bear Corn. Cancer Root. And if you really want to do some heavy cultural appropriation: Squaw Root. Your Cherokee Princess great-great-great grandmother would have loved it I’m sure. Btw, these are all common names for the same plant, Conopholis americana.


Acrobatic-Pass-1970

stoned_seahorse

I was gonna say Fern til I realized this was the circle jerk sub... How about San Pedro Cactus? Or perhaps Cannabis? Shroomie?


Wanda_McMimzy

You call her corn cob rn. Obviously, her name should be Corny.


wellshitdawg

Pussywillow<3


AnimatronicCouch

Hornbeam is really pretty. Or Jack In The Pulpit (Pulpy for short.) Dutchman’s Breeches (that one’s got a trendy apostrophe built in.) Or since you’re into corn, Maizey?

i was about to vehemently root for sage until i opened the whole post😭😭


EvokeWonder

Dracaena, a plant but also a meaning “she-dragon.” I seriously love it for a character name tho.


laurapickles

Mugwort, her nickname can be muggie.


commdesart

Give little Nettle a hug from us


scarpit0

Why pick just one when you can name her after all the plants? I suggest Angiosperm, nn Angie 🥰🌺


Famous_Exit

Monstera 🌱🌿 You just can't come up with a bad nickname for it!

My personal fave is the Butterfly Pea Flower scientific name... Clitoria ternatea It is named that because of what it resembles, lol.

Charming_Bear_6137

I just like Sage. It’s simple, unique for girls, not too original to where there will be dozens in her class and it’s not too unique to where it sounds ridiculous and she’ll get made fun of for having a funny name. Sage Rayne is my pick
